| The tripod flared with a purple spark | B |

| Sunset heavens may burn but never | J |
| Know such splendor There bloomed an ever | J |

| Was it her soul or the sapphire fire | J |
| That sang like the note of a seraph's lyre | J |

| Fragrant messages none hath heard | P |
| Which the sense divines when the spirit seeketh | Q |
| And he seemed alone in a place so dim | R |
| That the spirit's face who was gazing at him | R |
| For its burning eyes he could not see | - |
| Then he knew he had died that she and he | - |
| Were one and he saw that this was she | - |
